Grading math for this card

Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.

Enter a grading cost to calculate.

Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.

About Volcanic Island

Volcanic Island is the blue-red dual land from Revised Edition. It is searched heavily because dual lands combine game utility, Reserved List status, and edition-specific collector demand.

Why this card matters

Verified factVolcanic Island is one of Magic's original dual lands and is included in Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List policy. For the Revised Edition card, the important identity is the 1994 white-border dual land, not the Beta or Unlimited black-border versions and not later commemorative treatments. Demand can come from players looking for the land's function and collectors looking for exact era copies, so the same name can represent several different markets that should be measured separately. [1][2]

Identifying the exact version

AnalysisThe Revised Volcanic Island is a white-border land with no expansion symbol, Island Mountain type line, Brian Snoddy art, and catalog number 291. It should not be confused with Beta, Unlimited, foreign black-border, Summer Magic, CE/IE, or 30th Anniversary copies. A listing needs front and back photos, condition details, and a clear statement of set and language. Because Alpha did not include Volcanic Island, any reference to an Alpha Volcanic Island should be treated as an identity error or a different object. [1][4]

What moves the price between versions and grades

Verified factVerified 2026 records show Volcanic Island transactions across PSA 9, CGC 8.5, CGC 8, and raw condition categories. These are useful but not interchangeable. The Goldin PSA 9 sale recorded on a PSA cert page belongs in a different lane from Heritage CGC 8.5 and raw lightly played or moderately played examples. A defensible value range should start by choosing the exact version, then filtering by raw condition or grader and grade, and only then looking at date and venue. [3][5][6]

Authenticity checks

Verified factCompare the card against exact Revised references, checking white border, no expansion symbol, type line, Brian Snoddy credit, card size, back design, print registration, and surface wear. Use multiple checks together and avoid destructive tests. For slabbed examples, confirm the cert record and visible label details, but still inspect the slab and card images because copied cert numbers exist. For raw copies, require clear front, back, corner, edge, and angled surface photos before treating the listing as a comp. [7]

Identity note: Seed identity corrected from unnumbered to catalog number 291. Volcanic Island was omitted from Alpha, so Alpha comps should never be used for this Revised card.
Why collectors look this card up: High-demand Reserved List dual land; major vintage/Legacy price-guide staple. source 1

What people get wrong about this card

"Volcanic Island has an Alpha version."
Volcanic Island was omitted from Alpha; the seed card here is Revised Edition and should be compared only with that printing unless a different variant is explicitly researched.
"All Revised Volcanic Islands in slabs can be averaged together."
PSA 9, CGC 8.5, CGC 8, and raw sales are different comp groups and should be separated by grader, grade, and condition.
"Reserved List status establishes a future price."
Reserved List status is a supply-policy fact, not a price prediction. Actual sold comps and liquidity still have to be measured.
